He was catching waves all over here and there

"WOW! you guys are awesome! I was lookin' to buy my boyfriend a surfboard for our 2 yr. anniversary.

Out here in LA USED fish boards go for about $460. I was just browsing online hoping to maybe find a a place that would sell it cheaper, and I just stumbled on your website

NOT ONLY did I find what I was lookin' for, but it was a NEW board at a cheaper price!

On the same day we came to pick up the board we decided to hit the beach to see how it rides. HE LOVED IT! He was catching waves all over here and there.

ALSO 2 other surfers came up to him and complimented his board. HE WAS SO STOKED! THANK YOU!"

Michael sent me this email and video of him surfing on our surfboards

It doesn't matter how good you are, you can always enjoy a good sesh. Good on ya Michael. I know you will continue to get better.

"Luc & Holly,

As an old local reaching midlife I never learned to surf as a kid. Now that I have finally taken the time to pursue the more important aspects of life I could not be happier that I am using surfboards that make it look like I have been surfing for more that a coupla years.

Growing up everyone I knew surfed. I know the entrenched surfing industry could learn heaps from guys, particularly when it comes to price. Just wanted to share a shameless video with you, plus (notice the logos of yours)."

Because of your flexibility I was able to surf the next day with my 6 year Leland.

"Luc and Holly,

Thank you for letting me pick up my sons new stick on my schedule. Customer Service is what it takes to be a viable company and you delivered.

Because of your flexibility I was able to surf the next day with my 6 year Leland. This was a magical moment! Brand new surfer with a brand new surfboard. As you can see, he made it look like no big deal. But the stoke is in his belly and that's all he talks about.

Thanks again,

The board worked better than I had hoped

"Hey Luc and Holly,

I purchased a 5'8" fish from you yesterday. This morning the surf looked a bit mushy but I paddled out anyways for what turned out to be a very fun session.

Then he sent me this email and voice message when he got back from Costa Rica

"Luc & Holly,

Just got back from Costa Rica surf trip. Broke in the new Stokes 8'0" I got from you guys. Handles like a 6'0" instead of an 8'0". Wanted to let ya'll know "I LOVE MY NEW BOARD". Hope you both are well.

Best Regards,"

very comfortable with my new board after only about an hour

"I started surfing here about 3 months ago after taking the two weekend course at the MBAC. I picked up a 9′ soft-top before that Was heavy but held me up fine just before me and my girlfriend took the course. I bought an 8′6″ Ultimate a couple weekends ago and have surfed once with it at blacks. This board feelt initially almost too fast for me but the class got us up on boards and that was all I needed to actually feel very comfortable with my new board after only about an hour one day a weekend.

From what I have read and looked at and priced you guys seem to be doing a fine business producing what I think will be a great board for me.

I have picked up surfing over the past few months and it looks like it will become more enjoyable.
Thanks."

I felt very well looked after

"Just purchased my first ever surfboard from the Stokes via the web site/phone. The board is great (8'6" mini mall with great graphics) and rides really well.

After just over a week I'm surfing some decent waves. It was great to be able to talk with the owner of a business (a rarity these days) before buying.

I felt very well looked after."

His Long Board let him surf like a local

"Luc,

I just want to let you know how much my son (Rocky jr.)loves his board. He was surfing at day light every day that we were at the beach and now that we are back in Phoenix it is suspended from his bedroom ceiling waiting for his next trip.

Thanks for your great Service and boards. By the way his Long Board let him surf like a local he was Stoked."

The fact that you check all the boards before shipping made me feel so good about your company

"Thanks so much for such a great surfboard!

I ordered a board for my boyfriend and he loved it! It was beautiful... Holly, you actually called and told me that the board I ordered came to you guys from the warehouse damaged and offered to get me a new one or fix it...

The fact that you check all the boards before shipping made me feel so good about your company!

Thanks again for a great board!"

I just wanted to say that I love that fish I bought from

"Hi Holly,

I just wanted to say that I love that fish I bought from you back in August. I don't even surf my short boards anymore!

I'm really interested in buying another board. I was thinking about getting a quad fish or maybe a custom fish or both.

Thanks again. Talk to you soon :)"

I was in CA for the last swell that came thru from that hurricane
in Baja.

My Surf Systems 8' board ROCKED!!!

It was really easy to paddle into the waves and had great pick up down the line.

Just wanted to let you know how happy I am with the board. I will be ordering another one soon for the family. Thanks."

You have a great product and at unbeatable prices

"Luc and Holly,

It was a pleasure meeting both of you last evening. I am literally stoked on the 6' Retro Fish surfboard I purchased from you. You have a great product and at unbeatable prices.

Went out in Huntington this morning and had a great session. Caught every wave I paddled for and had total control of the board on turns.

Dropping a full foot in length was easier than expected on the epoxy fish. Thank you both!"

- Vincent Nola
Santa Monica, CA

You guys are AWESOME

"Hi Luc and Holly,

You guys are AWESOME! Thanks for the guide, it totally helped me (someone who knows nothing about surfboards) pick out a surfboard as a gift for my BF and he loves it.

Thanks again!"

Wanted to let you know I love the new board

"Hey Luc and Holly,

Wanted to let you know I love the new board. Can't wait to get another one from you when I'm ready for an addition. I am glad that your family and you have been alright with the fires. My family was evacuated, but all is well. Hope the weekend brings good things.

Thanks again, I am definitely going to go to you guys first from here on out!"

So after riding the 6'2 Quad hybrid fish its awesome

"So after riding the 6'2 Quad hybrid fish its awesome! Little hard to paddle into waves but once up it flys! It has very good turn and flots great."

- Blake Conlin
Norco, CA

Fun board, glad I picked this one

"Luc,

Finally got to surf some decent waves with the new board I got from you, fun to surf. Harder to catch waves than my 7'0", that's to be expected. But it is faster and turns well.

I need to surf waves with a little juice in them because it is hard to catch mushy waves. Fun board, glad I picked this one.

Thanks,"

The 9'6" epoxy board I picked up just before Christmas surfs great

"Luc,

The 9'6" epoxy board I picked up just before Christmas surfs great! I took it out at Trails on my birthday (12/28) & had a ball. The decreased weight made the added 6" un-noticeable.

Thanks again,"

The world needs less greedy people like you and your wife

"Hey Luc,

I'm Andy. The guy who bought the 6'2 quad fin surfboard off you. It was around last Christmas of 2007. Its a great board. I love it.

You saved me and my mom a big amount of money Luc. The world needs less greedy people like you and your wife.

Peace,"

It's amazing

"Hi guys,

I got the 6' hybrid fish surfboard early this week, and I have been surfing every day on it. It's amazing! The speed you get is incredible even on waist high mush. Also its very responsive. A great board.

Thank you so much,"

- Nikolas Harth

I would recommend you to everyone

"Hi Luc and Holly,

Thanks for the 6'10' hybrid fish surfboard. It was exactly what you described. It was great to do business with you, I would recommend you to everyone."
